fcuk there's a funny clip of the skis getting caught out by a massive set at Himalayas (where John was surfing) and trying to do the bolt. One does a v dangerous thing, launches off the lip of the first wave of the set and goes maybe 30 feet in the air...and lands in the midst of all the other skis who'd made it over. Then gets clocked by the second wave. The set is a solid 400,000 kilojoules.

Yeah that set looked so full on, I pictured myself caught on the inside looking at it coming down on me. I can’t really get a grasp of how heavy it would be, but I’m assuming you would need to hold your breath for a long time.

Ahem! Real surfers always halve their kilojoule estimates!Nick Carroll wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 6:33 pmI have been, but more suffering POMO, I can't inflict that on peoplechannels wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 2:29 pmI'm surprised Nick hasn't been jizzing over the massive weekend swell in Hawaii.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
That's it
Really you would not ever want to be caught inside by a set like that. It wouldn't matter how fit you were or whatever. When people used to get caught inside by that stuff in the years before skis, they died. Ie Todd Chesser

From the WSL, yesterday at Jaws
Yeah, get me out there so I can paddle into one of those.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Which makes the fact that Ken Bradshaw, Mark Foo etc used to paddle out there in the 90’s or did they have skis, Nick?Nick Carroll wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 8:06 pmThat's it

Re: Just general surfing stuff
He died at Mavericks though I think? Not the outer reefs.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Died at Mavericks on a relatively smaller (for Mavs) day.
Re: Just general surfing stuff
I’ll never forget that wave that closed out Waimea and he took it on the head.
